Best practices Construction of 19 latrines in Lokilala village and are so far being used setting a good example One community sanitation club has been formed in Kangole TC and they carry out cleaning of the trading centre and encourage good sanitation practice

Challenges Stopping Open defecation in the community Disparity among the school on Pupil: stance ratio despite the aggregate average (1:45) Few partners working in WASH concentrate on water supply but not sanitation Poor involvement of political leaders despite their commitment in meetings Poor community level O&M – lack of system on spare part Difficult areas (terrain/natural formation) and soil require alternative water technological option Under staffing at District and Sub-county levels. Poor data bases-inconsistence in information Capacity of the private sector to provide quality service

Cross cutting issues The sector has worked in collaboration with health sector and education in the promotion of sanitation and hygiene in schools and community The WASH sector has also responded in terms of emergency and worked with child protection (e.g. recent case of returnees), in the construction of sanitation facilities. The WASH also attends DDMC meetings to report emergencies

Best practices Joint monitoring of programs with district leadership Drama show being attractive channel for community sensitization Provision of digging kits made communities to respond positively in construction of HH latrines in Adea parish Communities fencing water sources after rehabilitationn Community capital contribution towards water source promotes ownership like Kopo borehole.

Challenges Inactive water and sanitation committee some areas Land ownership posing a problem in latrine construction in displacement areas Lack of spare part dealer in the district hinders easy access to spares and community based O&M Insecurity in places like Nyakwae,Alerek. Lack of some community contribution towards Operation and maintenance lowers functionality of water sources. Procurement process has been very slow in Abim. Geological formation and soil type in some places like Lotuke,Nyakwae hinders calls for technology options Hepatitis – E Posing additional challenge (2 cases so far) Under staffing and long recruitment process

Cross cutting issues DDMC as a platform for cross sectoral issues In schools WASH has been calling up on education, health, community development and HIV/ADIS Gender consideration in water source user committee
